Beta 2 - Buffer Overflow when trying to start a new game

June 16, 2005 4:08 PM from

Hiya,

well, mainly the title says it already, but when I try to launch a new game (beta 2) I get a crash with a buffer overflow message. This happens right after the galaxy size/start density/... selection.

I am trying to play on a Dell 8600 (1.5 Ghz, 512 MB RAM) laptop.

Any ideas ?

CharonJr PS: I had no problems at all with the earlier beta version.

Have just installed the latest Omega ATI driver (due to Dell's great hardware support policy

), but am still crashing.
